The shape of an object does not affect its velocity because velocity is determined solely by the object's speed and direction of motion. The shape of an object may affect other factors such as air resistance or aerodynamics, which can influence how quickly the object slows down or changes direction, but it does not directly affect its velocity.

How will an object size and mass affect its terminal velocity?

The terminal velocity of a falling object depends upon its aerodynamics (which is to say, its shape) rather than its size and mass.


What affects air resistance?

Fluid density, relative velocity, and object shape affect air resistance.


Does velocity affect motion inertia?

No, velocity does not affect an object's inertia. Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, regardless of its velocity.


How do the velocities of unbalanced weights compared?

When dropped the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it falls. The size and shape may affect the wind resistance which affects falling velocity but heavier objects will not fall faster than lighter objects with all other variables constant.


What factors affect terminal velocity in a fluid?

The factors that affect terminal velocity in a fluid include the weight and size of the object, the density and viscosity of the fluid, and the shape of the object. Objects with a larger surface area or lower weight will reach terminal velocity faster, while denser fluids or more streamlined objects will increase terminal velocity.


What 3 factors affect the amount of air resistance on an object?

Speed, shape and frontal cross-section. Viscosity, texture, friction, gravity, velocity, size, and shape can all affect air resistance.


What is the shape of a displacement-time graph for an object that is constantly speeding up?

If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.


What 3 factors affect the amount of air resistance acting on an object?

Speed, shape and frontal cross-section. Viscosity, texture, friction, gravity, velocity, size, and shape can all affect air resistance.


How does the height from which an object was dropped affect its average velocity?

The height from which an object is dropped does not affect its average velocity. Average velocity depends on the overall displacement and time taken to achieve that displacement, regardless of the initial height of the object.


How can acceleration affect velocity?

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. If an object experiences acceleration in the same direction as its velocity, its speed will increase. If acceleration is in the opposite direction of velocity, the object will slow down. Changes in acceleration can also affect the direction of velocity, causing the object to change direction.


What the 2 factors affect the kinetic energy of an object?

The two factors that affect the kinetic energy of an object are its mass and its velocity. The kinetic energy of an object increases with both mass and velocity.


What two forces can affect an objects velocity?

Two forces that can affect an object's velocity are acceleration and friction. Acceleration can increase or decrease the velocity of an object, while friction can slow down the object's motion by opposing its direction of movement.
